Reply by HoskingHardwood : Oak is a hardwood and if your concerned about dogs marking it up then you may want to go with a character grade because of the character within the boards help mask minor marks or scratches. You may also be interested in our article about Pets and hardwood flooring.

All you say is "buy a good one." Well, duh. You give almost every manufacturer 5 stars. Then other sites give them 2 stars with lots of complaints about peeling wood and finishes, etc. advice is to get engineered wood with 9 layers and more than 3mm hardwood. But then you give 5 stars to product with 3 layers and 2mm hardwood. If youre going to promise to answer a question. Like what is the best hardwood floor buy, you should be prepared to man up and take a stand, not pump out a load of obsequious mush.

Thank you so much for this response! To date, I have been most impressed with selection and pictures of available flooring on the Kahrs website so I was sad to see reviews. The other area of concern in their specs was "color change...noticable color change over time"...is this to be expected with all wood floors and hard wax oil finish? Other manufacturers of consideration have been Monarch Plank, Du Chateau, LM Flooring and Linco Enterprises. Numerous negative Houzz reviews of Provenza also initially scared me away. Better to place concern with finding flooring to meet search criteria than reviews on customer service...ie. wear layer of 3.5mm+, finish, etc.?

Great to see a recommendation for manufacturer as I just spent an hour or more navigating Kahrs website only to sadly discover (shortly thereafter) several negative reviews of their flooring in terms of durability, potential spill damage and customer service. This search is proving more difficult than anticipated, so good to learn of more companies to investigate. Hate to let a few bad reviews turn interest elsewhere, but hard to ignore as many as discovered...especially in terms of customer service. Thoughts?
Reply by HoskingHardwood : Hi Wendie a few years back wood floors didn’t have any warranties, why? Because wood flooring is walked on, tramped on, furniture is dragged over it, dirt and stones are ground into it, dogs nails scratch the finish etc. etc. etc.  You wouldn’t do that on the hood of your new car? Flooring manufacturers nowadays try to outdo their competition and boast about having a 10-20-50 year warranty.  But when you read their warranties they really don’t cover much if anything.  Usually the people who have given a product a poor rating are usually the ones who were either misinformed about how the flooring would perform or abused the product then complained about it.  Kahrs in particular sells millions of square feet a year and the majority of people who take care of the flooring love it.  Prefinished wood floors (from a reputable manufacturer) are very durable but still be scratched and worn over time.

Great explanation and what I need to know our hardwood floor is 50 years old and looks pretty good but the finish is dull and we have black spots here and there. What I need to know is can we put a new hardwood floor on top of the old one? Thank you
Reply by HoskingHardwood : Hi Muriel have you thought of having your existing wood floors sanded and refinished? Doing so would most likely bring the floors back to an almost new condition, the black spots may be uric acid stains from pet urin that may not come out. But to answer your question you may want to copy and paste this link into your browser and look for the paragraf that pertains to installing new floors over old - https://www.hoskinghardwood.com/Department/Hardwood-Floors/All-About-Subfloors--installing-flooring-over-various-sub-floors.aspx?dId=7&pageId=2

The article is titled "What is the best hardwood flooring to buy"? The question is never answered but instead explains the differences between solid and engineered hardwood as well as, different uses and requirements throughout the home. Although he doesnt appear to push a brand, he does specify the "best brands" which of course he carries. The emotional, impulse buyer has no use or desire for information which is probably why most retailers dont offer it. This site seems to appeal to those who want to know. Good article.

I have to disagree with Brad with regards to prefinished flooring. Prefinished flooring from a quality manufacturer is more durable than the finish that I can purchase because their finish is applied and basically cured during the manufacturing process and that finish is the durable Aluminum oxide finish. We the sanding and refinishing contractors cannot get aluminum oxide. The available finishes we can only get are not as durable because the EPA has demanded that finish manufactures take out a great amount of the urethane solids that used to make them durable. And they can take up to 4 weeks to fully cure making them more susceptible to scratching.

ThIs article is not accurate when it states: "Additionally, pre-finished flooring is so much more durable than its site-finished counterpart". The reason is that factory finishes using the UV lights for hardening are now offered by many refinishers including the "NHance" named franchises and use a product called "Lightspeed" that is as hard as the factory finish.

Article above went over the basics of flooring styles. To Lorena (below) : There are many types of prefinished engineered flooring some manufacturers like Lauzon make an optional style of square edge engineered (no bevel). There are also different style bevels and they have an article on this site that explains them. I would suggest that everyone go to their "Site Page" to see links to all their very informative articles.

You forgot to mention that engineered wood flooring has grooves. I dont like that look of having gaps between each plank. Also makes it really difficult to sweep as all the dirt gets in between. We installed solid white oak on concrete but the installer put plywood underneath it so it was more expensive but its worth it. Looks so much nicer than engineered wood. I was also told by my floor guy that engineered wood can only be refinished max 3 x in its life.

Good article however I have been reading reviews on Bruce flooring which was suggested and I hear people dont like it. As a matter of fact there were more negative reviews than positive. It seems as if you are not able to find quality products these days. I like to do my research before I make purchases and I think im just going to keep my dingy carpet. Id love hardwood but I have not heard of one company that makes outstanding products. I dont want to pay 6000 for new flooring and end up having issues. I also hear that damage caused from pets is not covered. I hope my daughter never wants a dog.

Excellent information except for one thing. You could give a little more reference to the use of underlayment and the effect it has when covering a concrete floor. I made the mistake of not researching this and having a contractor put a low end underlayment down. The result is a cold uncomfortable condo floor. Four years later I am learning about cork underlayment for warmth and comfort but the cost of replacing the floor is prohibitive

I think the "Title" of this article exactly represents the articles contents, as it recommends types of wood floor construction and what floors commonly go with particular rooms of the home. NO article is going to know what your personal tastes are to narrow it down to size, thickness and color. Another note if anyone wants to learn a lot about wood flooring check out all thier articles, go to the site map. Spend the time to get educated. I did and I am buying my flooring here because this company is the only one out there that provides this free very imformative information that big box floors sales staff have no clue to, already been there done that!

we find a deal and ship to our door for a great price. Vandana patiently listened to my requirements and then recommended a beautiful hardwood for my living room and bedroom. We love the handscrapped old mission and feel it is a high quality product.

The title suggests the reader will be given information about which flooring to purchase, but the article only speaks generally about appropriate flooring applications. This information is common knowledge and brings the reader no closer to finding a good floor than speaking with a sales representative at s big box store.

I have been shopping hardwood flooring and the article certainly helped me a ton. I have been on what seems like a million websites but very few go into any details with regards to comparisons between prefinished and non, and engineered and solid. So thank you for the facts.

Ive installed a few floors using both pre finished and raw hardwood 3/4. With Engineered flooring hitting the market hard lately I wanted info on comparisons. This does a good job explaining it. I totally agree that the prefinish Alum Oxide is a GREAT option is you can afford it and dont plan on refinishing your floor. That finish is so durable it is almost impossible to take off without overpaying a professional. Just a thought. Great article.

Louise, I have been all over this website reading their very informative articles that help educate us all. What your looking for is located in under the brand collections where it gives the consumer the option to give their opinion as to what they think of a particular floor. FIY - I was in customer service for a long time and found that usually the only time someone would take the time to comment about a product was when they think they had a problem with it.

What I would like to see is reviews by people who have various kinds of wood flooring in their homes to see if they have any issues with any type, brand or color. Some may show scratches, for example. Wood flooring providers have something to sell and they may not be so forthcoming about problems as customers would be. We need ssome real world reviews.
